The '''Tool Offset''' G-Code, also known as G43 is used to retrieve stored tool length offsets that can be utilized during an [[Automatic Tool Change]] ATC operation using the M-Command [[M06]]. This command allows for changing the tool without having to re-zero the Z-offset.

'''Standard Format:'''
G43 H00

Here the number after the H represents the desired tool number. H0 is a valid tool number. To clear the command and set a zero value offset, the number 0 can be used in place of the H-command.

==Code Examples==

In this example, Tool #5 will have its offset selected.

G43 H5

As a follow up example, Tool #2 will have its offset selected.

G43 H2

To clear all offsets and use zero offset, the following command is useful.

G43 0
